Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

A little bit further down from Hill of St. Peter, constructed on the remains of a pagan temple, is the cathedral os Santa Maria Maggiore. Originally with a T-layout, in the 12th century it was modified until obtaining the Romanesque appearance of a basilica with three naves. The position of the severed belltower is curious, hanging over the façade. Inside you can admire a large Universal Judgment attributed to the brothers, Gregorio and Donato d'Arezzo and also strange, fantastic depictions of what are probably medieval beasts.
